She-Ra

Right.

I did a whole video on the patriarchy and He-Man and She-Ra.

Why did the girl twin get taken away? And why is she a slave? Why does she got to have a horse and the brother get a lion? Why? Yeah.

You feel me? And yes, it's a cartoon, but it also is a space where not everyone is going to want to talk about feminist ideology.

I mean, He-Man kind of was one of the early benchmarks, really, because it was one of the first that sort of did that kind of thing.

And then quickly, obviously quickly follow in with things like G.I. Joe and then obviously Transformers and Thundercats and She-Ra and there's a whole bunch of stuff.

But yeah, when you realize, especially if you watch them now, you know, He-Man always makes sure he uses his, you know, super power punch twisting action and he always makes sure he's got the sword in it and the power of Greyskull and Battle Cat and Cringer both make an appearance.

So, you know, just to make sure that you realize that, you know, there's two modes to that figure.

So,

you know, anyway, but it is what it is.

She-Ra in Princes of Power was at number six.

Christ, I watched the intro to that today.

Eye of the Power.

She-Ra.

You know who Jay looks like?

Skeletor.

Now, I would say number five on this list, I don't remember this, but I think it's the lady version of He-Man.

She-Ra.

She-Ra.

I don't know who her arch nemesis was.

Hordak.

The dead will walk here.

I am She-Ra! I am the power!

welcome back radical ones to another episode of the radical retro rewind podcast as always i am your host radical ryan hunter here with everyone's favorite brother and mine dated for our first david video podcast of radical retro rewind it's not the first that we have done because we've done interviews patricia tollman Terry Hawks, Peter Lawrence.

But this is the first time we're doing a full video episode.

We

do.

And I think it's a retro enough because we do do He-Man, She-Ra.

Yeah, of course.

So when you think about superpowers, you turn them on, you're very intentional about that.

I think back to, you know, I think of Naruto, if you're an anime fan, and he'd be like, Kaveh, Kaveh, right? Like he's conjuring up, he's bringing forth his magic, right? Or even like She-Ra and Thundercats or whatever.

Thunder, they're very intentional, they call it forth.

So you have to have a name for it, whatever that superpower is.
